' Application filed. June-12, 1925. Serial N-o. 36,603.

7 a simple,'readily applied, durable, and efficient protector adapted toserve as a protection against wind and to retain the heat from theburner, and in fact, to fully fill the requirements of such a devicewhen in use, Theproteotor is readily applied to torches or burners ofknown construction or maybe readily Well adapted to any torch or burnerof the general type for which this is made. When once appliedtheprotector is securely held about'the burner-and there is no liabilityof its becoming detached and deranged and at the same time the burneritself is safeguarded against in-.

jury in anyway. I Other objects and advantages of the invention willhereinafter appear and the .novel features thereof will be particularlypointed out intheappended claims.

The invention, in one of its preferred forms, is clearly illustrated inthe accompanying drawings, which with the numerals of reference markedthereon, form apart of this specification; and, in which-- Figure 1 is aside elevation of a gasoline torch or burner with my present form ofhood applied.

Figure 2 is an end view thereof, with a part in section, the sectionbeing on the line 2-2 of Figure 1, looking in the direction of thearrows.

Figure 3 is a detailed underside perspective of the hood removed.

Figure 4 is aplan view on anenlarged scale, of the burner with the topplate in position.

Like numerals of reference indicate like parts throughout the severalviews.

In the present instance the hood or pro tector 'is shown or applied to agasoline torch or burner 1 of any of the well known or approved forms ofconstruction, of which 2 is the burner tube, and 3 the supply pipe .t ef fon.

samesagainst wind and water.

The hood is preferably, though not necessarily, constructed of copper inorder to better retain the heat, Itv increases the strong power of theflame and protects the It admits oxygen of the air and carries the samebetween the burner and the hood producing a melting heat The wind hasnochance to extinguish the flame byreasonof the increased heat, betweenthe hood and the burner. v W

1 The hood comprises bottom portion 4 with central longitudinaldepression 5 and an upturned flange portion 6, having a depression 7 1nallgnment with the depression 5, as

8"which in the present instance are'shown outwardly tapered, (see Figure3) and provided with the flanges 9, (see Figure t 1 10 is the rear wallrising'from the bottom 4 having therein at substantially its midheightan opening.;11,-which*may be of any desired shape and withone .or moreholes 12, which may be required for the admission seen best in Figure 3.From the opposite; edgesof this bottom portion extend the sides,

ofair. It-is also provided with the vertical passage 13 'incommunication with. the opening ll, as seen clearly-in Figure 2, topermit of the application ofthehood to the burner. This back end-wall 1O:isprovided .at; its upper. edge with the lugs 14, as seen clearly inFigure 4:. One of thesidewalls 8 has a slotfor the reception of thesupply pipe 3 when the hood is applied. The wall of this opening may insome instances have a flange or flanges 15 extending outward therefrom,as seen in Figures 2 and 3, and

between which the lateral portion of the supply pipe is received.

16 is the top portion. It is formed upon its underside at opposite edgeswith inturned portions 17 forming flanges which are cooperable without-turned flanges 18 on op posite edges of the sides 8, as seen clearlyin Figures 2 and 3. The top is provided at an end with a downwardlyflected flange or the like 19, as seen in Figures 1, 3 and 4, whichserves to shed any water that might otherwise tend to enter the hood orprotector. I Y

Upon the outerface of the top is shown a rack or rest 20 for holding anytool or other object that may be desired, being provided with theupstanding portion 21 which may be serrated as seen in Figures 2 and 3,to

better hold the tools.

Inuse the top ineniber l6 is; removed from the hood. The hood'isthenplaced about the burner and then the top portion 16 is' relativearrangement of parts may here-- sorted to wlthout departlng from thespirit of the lnvention or sacrificing any of lts advantages.

that is claimed as new is:

1.; A protecting .hood- 'for gasolineitorohes, etc., embodying a bo dyportion applicable to the burner and surrounding the flame tube thereofand having a removable top adaptedto be, seen-red to the body portionafter the latter has been applied to the torch. V

i 2. A protecting hood for gasoline torches, ,etc., comprising twoseparable inei nbers, one, appl cable to the burner and ;the otherhaving slidable; engagement ,with; i the first member to retain the-hoodabout the burner.-
